In a city-center square, a commander asked his soldiers not to fire live bullets at the protesters, stressing that they only use tear gas.
The atmosphere was tense and the soldiers were in a difficult position because the demonstrators throw children in the front rows.
Suddenly, the soldiers started shooting, and a child and his mother were killed.
A journalist filmed the incident and uploaded the video to his newspaper’s website, and the world was attacked by the "killers of women and children."
All the media reported that momentous event until they forced the army leadership to open an internal investigation.
In a television interview, the presenter asked the journalist: “How would you describe the behavior of the murderous soldiers?” He said, “I was standing in the middle of the square and from where I could see the demonstrators and the soldiers. Suddenly and without reason the soldiers started shooting at the unarmed demonstrators.
It was an unspeakable heinous crime. ”
The media in that region of the world reported that incident and printed the news in all parts of the globe, and the media name of the army became "Army of Women and Children Killers."
At a meeting of a terrorist organization, the leader praised his followers and explained to them how the organization had won in the media, and he asked them to keep children in the forefront.
The leader of the organization called the journalist, thanked him for what he had done, and gave him the address of the next event.
The media continued to condemn the "killer" army forces, and the incident became a symbol of the brutality of the army, whose commander was summoned by the president, who rebuked him for using excessive force in dealing with unarmed people.
The commander said: “They were not defenseless, sir!
We shot in defense of ourselves and in response to firing from the other side. This is the result of the investigation. ”
The president came out at a press conference and announced it.
The newspapers printed and broadcast the news.
The next day, the headlines came out: "The president defends the army of killers."
The media continued their attack on the army.
In other countries of the world, the news was: "The president absolves the army."
What exactly happened?
In that square, when the commander asked his soldiers not to fire live bullets at the demonstrators, he stressed that they should only use tear gas.
The atmosphere was tense and the soldiers were in a difficult position because the demonstrators throw children in the front rows.
A sniper of the terrorist organization was monitoring the situation from inside a neighboring building. The sniper fired two bullets at the soldiers and then fled.
The soldiers returned fire, and the mother and her child were killed.
The journalist filmed the incident from the viewpoint of the terrorist organization and published it in his newspaper, and reported it to the media through his mouth.
This is what happens when our minds are driven by one source.
This is what happens when we read history from one point of view and discover many lies when we diversify the sources.
This is what happens when we believe the oppressor and propagate his lies, and after the image of the other party is distorted in the minds, we discover that the subject is a major deception, and that we lied to the other party even though he was defending himself.
